Removing inspection sticker

My '09 was ordered and delivered in NY State and had to be inspected there but since I'm in Vermont I had to get it inspected again within 15 days of registration. I now have 2 inspection stickers and I want to get rid of the NY one. It's in the very bottom corner of the driver's side windshield, and it's proving a pain to remove.

I soaked it using a wet rag pressed into the corner (taking precautions to protect the dash) and that got all of the paper part of the sticker off, now all that's left is the glue (which still shows all of the NY inspection information, it's just on a clear background now).

I've tried water, rubbing alcohol and I even broke into my newly delivered bottle of Clarity to see if that would work, but nothing is shifting this glue. I've heard that I could just scrape it off with a razor blade but my hands aren't that steady and it's too close to the dash for my liking. I thought I had a bottle of goo-gone but I can't find it...I do have some WD-40 that I thought might work since it's a solvent but it's dark out now and I've given up for the night.

BTW, my 06 had the NYS sticker and the warning sticker in the upper corner on it the whole time I had it (nearly 3 years), I was just too lazy to do this task on that MINI. This time around I'm doing it right Tomorrow if the weather cooperates will be my first ever "real" detail using dawn, clay, mystique, epic and clarity.

Any ideas on this glue issue??
